PowerShell | GitHub | DevOps Automation | Windows Server | Linux | Azure | AWS | GCP
Are you a Platform Patch Engineer with strong automation skills across infrastructure, middleware, and cloud platforms? We're partnering with a major organisation in Belgium to secure an experienced patch management specialist for a contract engagement.
The Role
You'll own the end-to-end patch management lifecycle across a complex, multi-platform banking environment, spanning Windows Server, Linux, middleware, databases, and cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud). This isn't just ticket-based patching: you'll be building automation frameworks in PowerShell , managing GitHub repositories and GitHub Actions workflows, and acting as technical liaison between infrastructure, security, and platform teams.
What You'll Be Doing
- Planning, testing, scheduling, and deploying OS, middleware, database, and application patches
- Coordinating standard and emergency security patch windows across a regulated banking environment
- Developing PowerShell automation for patch deployment and platform health checks
- Managing source control, pull requests, and release processes via GitHub
- Supporting patching across Windows Server 2019/2025, Linux, and JBoss middleware
- Working across database platforms including SQL Server, Azure SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB
- Contributing to compliance, audit, and security reporting via Microsoft Sentinel and Dynatrace
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in patch management across enterprise infrastructure
- Strong PowerShell scripting and automation-first mindset
- Hands-on GitHub / GitHub Actions / CI/CD pipeline experience
- Solid background in Windows Server and Linux administration
- Exposure to network infrastructure (routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, VPNs)
- Cloud platform experience: Azure , AWS , or Google Cloud
- Database patching knowledge across SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB
- Comfortable working in a regulated, security-conscious financial services environment
- Available for contract engagement — freelancers/zelfstandigen/indépendants welcome to apply
Why This Role
- High-impact contract with a leading name.
- Cross-functional exposure across Security, Infrastructure, and DevOps teams
- Genuine automation remit, not just manual patch cycles
- Competitive day rate, contract term to be discussed
